That's the case, but the change is only locally.
BTW: I use KDiff3 for merge and compare (and DataSeeker for searching). And I have another tree beside the repository for testing. That allows me to compare files on disk (between the work tree and the src tree of the rep.), until I check them in. In special cases I have to use svn with the -r parameter to work with a special revision, but just seldom. I agree that, if I'd work with the local rep. directly, my non-SamrtSVN variant would be much harder.

That is what branches are for. I have used that extensively in the past. You create and switch over to the branch. Once you are done with your changes,you merge the branch into the trunk,switch back to the trunk and remove the branch (or discard the branch if you don't like your changes).
Branches have very little overhead and avoid the need to have two file trees to worry about.
As a bonus SmartSVN has a built in graphical diff ( and also merge) tool that shows you what changed from one check-in to the next. I have also used this extensively to revert changes that I had done that broke something else....
Andi B.:
Triggered by this discussion I tested (again) SmartSVN7 with a real big software project. It started to convert the local repository but didn't finish. It took a while until I discovered that my data partition with all my programming projects run out of free space and that's the reason SmartSVN couldn't complete the conversion.
After freeing some space I now know (again) the real reason why I stood with SmartSVN6 since years - my license is only valid up to version 6 :-( Now I've a only partially converted big, and I mean real big, project which I can not handle fully with SmartSVN7 (the PRO features are disabled) and I can't handle it anymore with SmartSVN6 cause it complains about directories which are under control of a newer SVN version :-(
Time to check my backups.
Sorry for being off topic - just a reminder, sometimes there are good reasons to stay with good old proven software instead playing with new one.
Lars:
I seem to remember that my SmartSVN 6.x license also works with SmartSVN 7.x as Roland Bill had prepared it from the generic Java package (including starting batch file and such). But it is limited to V 7.something ( I will need to look).
Just try and import your 6.x license file into the 7.x client.
Neil Waldhauer:
I am using the free version of SmartSVN 7.07 to maintain the source code for PMMail. I also use Visual SlickEdit as my coding editor.
I don't remember what version of SVN the VOICE server is running.
